The newer Pace desoldering tools (SX-90, SX-100)
are much better, both in cleaning (disposable traps)
and usage (the tips simply don't block at all).

I have a 605. I tend to use solder wick though, it has been a while since
I needed a powered sucker.

Another Hakko 472D owner here. Got mine in pieces as used/nonworking.
They're easy to rebuild. I've used the 808s at workshops/friends' places,
there's no comparison IMO. I use the "pencil" style handpiece, we had the
"gun" style at a previous job, I definitely like the "pencil" style better.
I have the combo unit including solder. I do not have any other experience
with any high-end ware but I can say that this unit does all I need and
does it well.

All this yammering about fancy desoldering gizmos harkens back memories of
a "desoldering station" consisting of a hot soldering iron ... made of a
hefty amount of copper (the kind you put in a pit of fire to heat up!) and
a long, skinny screwdriver, or two, used to _very_ gently pry up ICs from

On the topic of desoldering tweezers: I don't like them. I've done tons of
rework of components down to 0201 size. I consider 0201 to be difficult, but I
found that once I could work on 0201 components at all, 0402 suddenly seemed
easy to work with!
Anyway, the tweezers I've used had poor tip

I was doing some board repair this weekend, and used a mix of Hakko 472 vacuum
and
hot air equipment. I was having trouble clearing the holes completely with the
Hakko
so I heated the board with a 1" hot air
